Chapter 68 Negotiations

"Don't worry, pay attention to reconnaissance!"

Dugu Feng calmed Shi Ji, who was a little nervous, and at the same time reminded her of some details of her adventure.

"Yes!"

Shi Ji nodded, tried her best to calm the tension in her heart, and began to scout her surroundings like a thief. Although Shi Ji's perception is not high, and she does not have the powerful intuition that comes with high perception, but her extremely high agility attributes still make up for her lack of early warning, and her super high dynamic vision and neural reflex ability allow her to notice any subtle movement in the ruins of this manor.

The manor is surrounded by a swamp covered in thick mud and rotting leaves, and several ancient trees tangled in old vines surround the ruins of the manor. In the middle of the swamp, there is a small pond covered with green algae, and the slowly flowing stream has eroded the castle's foundations, and is still converging into a small pond in ruins.

After careful observation, Shi Ji found three crocodiles hiding in the mire outside the ruins, as silent as rotting wood. A little farther behind them, four orcs also hid under a camouflage of leaves and vines. In addition, on the inside of the ruins wall, there are also two orcs who are peering through small holes in the wall.

"There are four dark sentinels on the outside and two on the inside!"

After observing and listening repeatedly, Shi Ji gestured and whispered about the results of his detection: "Judging from the noise coming from the ruins, there may be four or five orcs or half-orcs inside!" ”

"Well done!"

Dugu Feng nodded, then patted Shi Ji's shoulder with a smile and said, "They will all be cleaned up by you!" ”

"Huh?"

Shi Ji couldn't help but be surprised, and glanced at Vilia Roland and Lady Silver Dragon again, and saw that the two of them also looked like they should be, and immediately showed a bitter face, although she had experienced a lot of training, and had also killed some goblins and gnolls, but this kind of thing of raiding the camp of a group of orcs alone had never been done!

"Wait a minute, I don't think we have to fight!"

At this moment, the female warrior disguised as the Demon Beast suddenly stood up and suggested, "The swamp area is not the territory of the orcs, they will not appear here for no reason, maybe we should talk to them first and find out their purpose......

"What do you think?"

Regarding the proposal of the evil ghost beast, Dugu Feng was noncommittal, and just handed over all the choices to Shi Ji.

"Yes, I think!"

Shi Ji was used to the situation where the key sister handed over the questions at the critical moment to her choice, so after thinking about it for a while, she still said: "I think it's better to communicate with them first!" “

Hearing Shi Ji's answer, Vilia Roland chuckled, and Lady Yinlong looked appreciative, but Dugu Feng was noncommittal.

"Since I proposed, then it's up to me to communicate with these orcs!"

The female warrior disguised as the demon beast took the initiative to stand up and take on the responsibility of communicating with the orc warrior.

Dugu Feng and the others naturally had no meaning, so the demon beast warrior took the initiative to step forward and walked towards the ruins.

"Roar!"

The Evil Ghost Beast Warrior did not hide it and quickly alarmed the vigilant orcs, and they jumped out one by one, looking at the Evil Ghost Beast Warrior with vigilance, but it was rare that they did not pounce directly on the battle.

The fire flickered, and one orc after another came out of the ruins, a small tribe of a dozen orcs, eight dwarven half-orcs, and an old orc shaman, all covered in a web of mud-covered camouflage, most of them with terrible deformities, even with the camouflage of black mud, which made them look very ugly and hideous.

"Outsiders, this is the territory of the Bloodskull Tribe, please explain your intentions!"

The old orc shaman said to the demon beast warrior in a lingua franca that he was not fluent in, "Strangers are not welcome here, if you don't want to fight, then leave immediately." ”

"We are adventurers hired by Dagger Beach to find a black dragon in this swamp that has attacked the Crom's Grip Fortress!"

The Demon Beast Warrior spread his hands slightly, signaling that he was not hostile, and asked, "Perhaps, you can provide us with some information!" This is a black dragon that resides in the lizard swamps, and he has a very loud nickname 'The Sun Eater', as you may have heard! ”

"Black Dragon!"

Hearing the name of the black dragon, the pupils of the old orc shaman shrank slightly, and its orc subordinates, who originally looked as rough and hideous as crocodiles, stirred slightly, and glanced at the sky a few times with a little uneasiness.

"Black Dragon? Yes, there is a lair of a black dragon here! ”

The old orc shaman was silent for a moment, and then suddenly laughed again, but its smile was particularly hideous in the eyes of humans: "If you really want to find the black dragon's lair, I can tell you!" Hehe, maybe you can try to slay the dragon! ”

"We'll do that if we have to!"

The Demon Beast Warrior raised her voice slightly, she knew that you had to be strong enough to deal with these rude orcs, otherwise they would see your humility as weakness, so she asked sternly, "Also, I remember that this is the territory of Dagger Beach, but I don't know when it became the territory of the orcs?" ”

"Where we orcs set foot is our territory!"

The old orc shaman was not intimidated by the momentum of the demon beast warrior, and she also replied-for-tat: "Moreover, you humans have already abandoned this place, so this place is now mine and my children's. ”

The two sides were fierce and-for-tat, and it looked like they were going to fight in the next moment, which made Shi Ji in the back can't help but clench the short sword and dagger in his hand, ready to rush out to fight at any time. On the contrary, Dugufeng and Ms. Yinlong looked relaxed, without the slightest nervous expression.

Then, contrary to Shi Ji's expectations, the two sides looked at each other menacingly for a while, but in the end there was no fight, and the demon beast warrior was silent for a moment, and then frowned and asked: "I remember that the area where your orcs are active is not here, and the swamp is not a place where you can survive for a long time. Why are you here? ”

"We can't tell you why we're here!" The old orc shaman said dryly.

"But I must know that not long ago, a territory north of Dagger Beach was raided by orcs, and Lord Floxian suffered a lot of losses, and we have reason to suspect that this matter has something to do with you."

The Demon Beast Warrior stared at the orc shaman and said coldly: "The mastermind of that attack is a red-robed mage, and the Dagger Beach officials have arrested him and will hang him in the square!" Now that your allies have failed, you don't have to keep it a secret! ”

"It can't be!"

The words of the evil ghost beast suddenly made the orc shaman scream, and she said loudly: "You can't catch the red-robed mage, he is a very powerful guy, his spells are very powerful, you can't deal with him." ”

"Hmph, Dagger Beach is guarded by the powerful Lord Istva, even if it is a red-robed mage, it is not an opponent of adults!" The evil beast also said loudly: "I know that the red-robed mage has a deal with you, but the red-robed mage is dead, you don't have to fulfill your responsibilities, now, give us what you want to trade to the red-robed mage, and we can not hold you accountable for the crime of attacking Dagger Beach!" ”

"No, it can't be!"
